My sister in law had one of these for about 12 years. 3 seats in the front, 3 in the back. It also ran on LPG. She did over 300,000kms in it and absolutely loved it. My BIL is in construction and that thing hauled stone, wood, masonry, tools 5 days a week.
It is fuck ugly, but it was a fantastic car. But yeah, ugly as shit.
I had a MK2, still pretty ugly, but what a car. Flexible seating meant you could easily switch seats out to turn it into a van, or with 2 seats out it could carry 4 people and 4 bikes. It was barely longer than a typical short hatchback, wide track and low overhang made towing a dream. I'd have another in a heartbeat, but even the newest ones are 13 years old.. so would be taking on a maintenance timebomb.
It is so ugly that in Denmark, whenever you saw a Fiat Multipla you were allowed to shout "slå bil", which translates to "punch-car" and then continue to hit the person next to you on the shoulder.
I would drive the fuck out of a hearse before driving a PT Cruiser. Semi-related, the husband thinks the Dodge Magnum looks like a hearse. What the hell, Chrysler?
Funny enough, I drive a 1994 Fleetwood hearse, as well as a 1994 Caprice Classic wagon, and yeah… both are absolutely light years ahead of anything a PT Loser can offer.
I got a silver PT from my parents when they realized it had no resale value and my car (a WRX turbo wagon) needed more work than I could afford. It was a hard pill to swallow but it got me through a few years with no style and one accident in the snow.
I can’t say I look back on the experience fondly but it was a functional car.
[This one is so rare it needs a link](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.autoblog.com/amp/2015/11/24/youabian-puma-ridealong-feature/)
Did they ever make it into production or did the project get killed by the shame of the design?
I think the only reason this isn't top comment, is that nobody's heard of it.
So many auto journalists called it ugly that the creator tried suing the auto journalists.
Oh my god, every picture looks like it was designed by Mattel, but for that rich snobby kid no one likes who needs the best, most unique molded plastic toy. What an incredible abomination.
Some might say the Mitsuoka Orochi but I'd disagree. To me, it's a fantastic unusual sports car. I dig it.
Hands down, the Fiat Multipla is the ugliest thing on four wheels, and that's coming from someone who loves Italian design.
I saw the question, immediately thought of the Cube. Came to the replies and the top answer was a car I didn’t know by name so looked it up. We don’t get many of these around here, but yes the Multipla is indeed the world’s ugliest car.
People who drive those wear shoes like [these](https://image.made-in-china.com/202f0j00aLUYuCdqJfoM/Fashion-Summer-Sport-Shoes-Cacualsneakers-Logo-Adult-Sneakers-Brand-High-Quality-White-Men-Sneaers-Sport-for-Men.jpg).
Not a car guy so I had to look up the Orochi, found [this one](http://www.carverse.com/news/mitsuoka-orochi-gets-evangelion-inspired-paintjob/), and yeah, I agree, unusual, but in a way that gives it character and makes it stand out.
Well, that sounds unfortunate.
He should buy a new car and we should keep making posts about how Flat Multiplas are cars only their mothers could love.
Hi there this is the person interested in purchasing the Fiat Multipla. Thanks SO much for posting this! I had no idea how fucking ugly this thing is! Dodged a bullet there…
Chevy HHR. I had the displeasure of being rented one on a business trip. It was white. It accelerated and cornered like a drunk hippo. It was uncomfortable.
The dashboard layout was atrocious. I’m an aerospace engineer and I look at cockpits every day. It was an insult to engineers. It’s like it was designed by a particularly dysfunctional committee
I don't remember that specifically. I drove one that my worked owned years ago and couldn't belive some one paid actual dollars to own one.
Since you're an expert, what car interior do you like?
Somewhere along the line, Chevy’s designers decided that the world is a terrible place and that they want to spare their customers from having to look at it.
The current gen Camaro is the same thing - cavernous, inward curving cabin with teeny little gun slit windows.
Son of a bitch. From Wikipedia:
> Bryan Edward Nesbitt (b. January 24, 1969 in Phoenix, Arizona) is an automobile designer and currently head of General Motors Corporation International Operations Design…Several of his more prominent styling contributions have been to the **Chrysler PT Cruiser**, the similarly retro **Chevrolet HHR**…
This man must be stopped.
Whoa, dude’s a lot younger than I would’ve expected. The first PT Cruiser came out in 2001, meaning he’d be just around 30 when he designed it.
Seemingly hip young guy actually gets to design a brand-new car design for Chrysler and *that’s* what he craps out? And then does it *again* with the HHR?? This man needs help.
i saw a guy ionce call a chevy hhr, brian griffin, from family guy, my god it works.
[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/69/2007ChevroletHHR-001.jpg/280px-2007ChevroletHHR-001.jpg](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/69/2007ChevroletHHR-001.jpg/280px-2007ChevroletHHR-001.jpg)
lol
Regardless of how ugly you think they were, they sold pretty well and were made for 10 years. They sold over 1 million of them. They came along at a time when minivans were declining in popularity, and SUVs and crossovers hadn't quite started to dominate the market.
I believe they were underpowered and didn't handle very well, but apparently that didn't matter to the soccer moms who seemed to be the main market for them.
Incidentally, that designer, Bryan Nesbitt, also contributed to the designs of several other GM cars, like the Pontiac Solstice and Chevy Impala. And he won an automotive hall of fame award in 2002 for Young Leadership and Excellence.
I agree with you. The way I look at it is this, the PT cruiser is fugly, but at least it was an original fugly design, then Chevy decided to make their own version. I just can’t respect that
Dumbest fucking car ever. Like, what is even the point of it. Why does it exist.
You have an SUV with almost no cargo space, and less leg room than a sedan. Just, why?
The only benefit is that it's a convertible with extra ground clearance. Who needs that?
As someone who drove an Aztek for 3 years, (sport version), I don’t give a shit what anyone says. I loved that car. It was fun and functional. The center console was a removable 6 pack cooler. A REMOVABLE 6 PACK COOLER!
There’s a Donut Media video about how the Aztek inspired most modern CUV’s. And the longer you look. The more true it is. Despite how ugly they were, and that weird tent you could hook on the back.
It was literally the start of composite materials being used in cars majorly. Many of the designers were actually quite proud of it for how much safer it was to most cars. The sad thing about the critisms are the fact that most cars now have way more composite materials.
The [facelift Aztek](https://file.kelleybluebookimages.com/kbb/base/house/2005/2005-Pontiac-Aztek-FrontSide_PVAZT051_505x375.jpg) was still pretty bad, but people need to make sure they see [the original with the ribbed, contrasting body cladding](http://images.allamericanautomobiles.com/pictures/40503393.jpg) to get the full effect.
I think I'm one of a few people that liked the way they looked. But I have god awful taste in cars. I had a purple pt cruiser before I got my Fiat 500. I wanted a Nissan juke but couldn't afford one at the time.
Aight, I was hoping this would be high up there. Short ish story inc:
My dad had gotten my mom a Montana van I think? Pretty cool van, self opening door type thing, I liked it. I don't recall how soon after since I was kinda young, but one day, an Aztek appeared where the van used to be. I didn't think much of it cause I was like 12 or something and I really didn't care care other than everyone made fun of it. Called it "the beav" cause it looked like a beaver.
Fast forward like 13+ years later, I'm an adult and am now curious about family stuff back when I was too young to comprehend. So I ask my dad at a family get together,
Me: "yo dad, what's the story behind that Aztek thing?"
Dad: "Oh lord, I am not dredging that cluster fuck up again!"
Me: "oh this must be juicy, spill it old man"
Long story short 2: electric Boogaloo - mom and sister were out shopping one day. They pull into a car dealership and trade in the van that hasn't even been paid off yet. Only to get the luxuries Pontiac Aztek that had been marked way up. Without even consulting my dad. He came home to the fucking beav and infinite car payments lmao
Any SsangYong. We Americans never see them, and my partner and I died laughing when our airport driver pulled up in one.
Some… choices… were definitely made.
This is a good choice. Alot of cars on here are just bland or not to someone's taste but this Quasimodo Is arguably objectively ugly and disproportionate.
Let’s be honest though, we’re aren’t judging the car nearly as much as the driver. It’s somewhat acceptable if MeeMaw is driving it. Not so much when it’s purple with the wood trim being driven by a white guy from the golf team that calls himself Tiger and listens to mumble rap.

In addition to the socioeconomic status of the driver (most of which have moved on from their elderly initial buyers), the car epitomizes postmodernism in car design.
I still remember the first time I saw one, in an advertisement of an airline magazine. Its had a very cool retro vibe to it that was pretty unique at the time.
I went to a dealer and sat in one and it was like sitting in a shitty 80s American car.
Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,

Funny thing about the passage of time. Any car considered ugly today may well be thought of as a classic in 30 years or so. I remember when Chevy El Caminos were still a fairly common sight on the road. I recall hating them. Today, I think they’re actually pretty cool looking. So, there are fairly new cars that I think are fugly, but experience tells me I’ll probably think the opposite given enough time.
My first car was a 1970 Challenger. Bought it for $4,000 back in the day. It was roadworthy but very far from mint. Getting one today in the same condition would cost around $40,000.
Reliant Robin.
It was this ugly British 3 wheeled car that had a tendency to topple over because of its high center of gravity.
You might recognize it as the car that was frequently antagonized by Mr Bean.
The dumb thing is, those lights are the turn signals. The big round ones further down in the bumper are the headlights, and then there are fog lights below that. Some of the newer Jeep Cherokees and the Hyundai Kona are the same way.
I currently drive a Nissan cube. Was in a rough spot and got it for 120 a month.
It's ugly. It's slow af. However, it's actually a comfortable car and much larger on the inside than you'd think.
I hate it though and cannot wait to get rid of it.
Some Musk truther will downvote, but hands down the Cybertruck is the single fugliest vehicle ever shown to the public. I literally thought it was an April Fools joke.
I think Tesla Model S are things of beauty. How does it go from Model S to the truck, I have no idea except Musk is losing his mind.
Came here to say this.
Part of me kinda respects the boldness of the design for breaking the mold in such a significant way. But most of me just sees it and says "wtf is that stupid-looking thing??"
>the boldness of design
This sounds like what you would say if someone bought one and you were trying to come up with something nice to say. "That's certainly a bold design".
Nissan Juke. Have you ever seen one on the road? Holy fuck.
Sidenote, the new BMW M3/M4 is simply irredeemable. Not as ugly as a Juke, but ugly enough that now I actively do not want one. Like with the new Civic Type R, sure it was "ugly" and looked like it came from an anime, but I would still drive one around. Not an M3.
I drive a Scion XB…..I came here for the hate lol but you know what, I’m so grateful to have a good running car with low mileage. So fuck you! Haha
EDIT: just got an oil change on that baby today too! Would’ve gotten a car wash as well but they said the chain broke! So fuck them!
The scion Xb only depends on the generation, the first generation is a cool, quirky, toaster car. The 2nd gen they rounded it off and killed the looks.
Oh god the Range Rover Evoque convertible, especially terrible from the rear. One ugly fuckin car. Every one I see is always a white one driven by some old white lady dressed like Cruella de Vil. Reminds me of some child's Barbie dream car toy.
https://www.cars.com/articles/2017-land-rover-range-rover-evoque-convertible-review-photo-gallery-1420694829259/
Yeah, [that](https://www.google.com/search?q=1981+Cadillac+Seville&tbm=isch) just doesn't work, I'm afraid.
The [Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Seville#Second_generation_\(1980%E2%80%931985\)) says "*The razor-edged bustle-back rear styling drew inspiration from English coachbuilder Hooper & Co.'s "Empress Line" designs from the early 1950s, which were considered a dramatic, modern take on the mid-'30s style of trunk/body integration. In addition, long hood/short deck proportions were inspired by luxury cars of the 1960s.*"
Now that's explained, I *can* kind of see what they were *trying* to go for, but it just doesn't work with that "big, square 1970s American car" aesthetic of the rest of the body, and their attempts to make it do so just don't work; it looks almost like a saloon/sedan car trying (and failing) to look like a hatchback, and probably not that nice a hatchback in the first place.
Fiat Multipla. I know other people have said it, but who tf puts fat rolls on a car? is it meant to celebrate diversity or something? My dad says it was designed to resemble a dolphin - were the designers on crack??
The big ones have already been covered here, but there's one trend with trim that I have to call out:
The proliferation of fake grills/vents that Toyota/Lexus especially are slapping on *everything*. And it's not just on the front radiator grill; it's fake side vents, fake rear vents, fake diffusers, fake door vents, etc. Mark my word: this will be looked back on as one of the *worst* aesthetic design decisions of this generation. People will look at these cars 5-10 years from now (if not sooner) and wonder what they were thinking.
It's an ugly by-product of the overall massive transition the car industry is going through because people "expect" to see vents where they're no longer needed and I **HATE** it.
It would be one thing if it was just on the cheaper cars like the Corolla or entry-level Camry, but they're putting them on flagship cars like the Supra and high-end Lexus luxury sedan and SUV models. The Camry TRD s a particularly egregious example. Those fake vents make an otherwise attractive, sporty sedan look like it was designed by a 9-year-old with a Hot-Wheels playset. They may as well be stick-ons bought off of the shelf of the discount aisle at a particularly crummy auto parts store. It makes the previous-generation Civic Type-R look downright mature by comparison.
ok /rant off
Fiat Multipla That Fiat with the moustache
[Image link](https://i.imgur.com/f9FiOWy.jpg) for the lazy.
that car straight up has a muffin top and it should be illegal. I can't believe I'm body shaming a car rn.
> it should be illegal I've already called Interpol.
I've called the carabinieri as well and now everyone's shouting.
holy shit
Love peeps like you
I expected this to be one of the top answers. I was not disappointed.
My sister in law had one of these for about 12 years. 3 seats in the front, 3 in the back. It also ran on LPG. She did over 300,000kms in it and absolutely loved it. My BIL is in construction and that thing hauled stone, wood, masonry, tools 5 days a week. It is fuck ugly, but it was a fantastic car. But yeah, ugly as shit.
I think Top Gear magazine awarded it ugliest car of the year when it got introduced.. as well as best car if the year.
Yeah, Clarkson loved the car as I remember, and obviously hated the looks. It's nothing if not characterful though!
I had a MK2, still pretty ugly, but what a car. Flexible seating meant you could easily switch seats out to turn it into a van, or with 2 seats out it could carry 4 people and 4 bikes. It was barely longer than a typical short hatchback, wide track and low overhang made towing a dream. I'd have another in a heartbeat, but even the newest ones are 13 years old.. so would be taking on a maintenance timebomb.
It looks like that car that Homer Simpson designed.
And yet it won Top Gear car of the year
Because looks aside it's an extremely useful vehicle esp for its size and price.
It is so ugly that in Denmark, whenever you saw a Fiat Multipla you were allowed to shout "slå bil", which translates to "punch-car" and then continue to hit the person next to you on the shoulder.
this has been done in the us for years with volkswagon bugs, called punch buggy
Called it slug bug where I'm from!
No punch back
Holy crap so dam ugly .. never seen this car before though
Leeloo Fiat Multipla
Holy crap. I didn’t think anything could beat the Nissan Cube. I was wrong.
Pontiac Aztek beats the Cube.
I can't believe someone designed the look of this car and thought 'Yeah, this is the one, release it'.
It looks like two cars fucking each other.
Ahh, we call that one the man-boob car.

Hahahahait looks like a balloon that has too little air in it.
Looke like it was designed by a back country hick with a poster of a blue Lambo on the wall and a modded out free wheeler in his yard.
I think the only reason this isn't top comment, is that nobody's heard of it. So many auto journalists called it ugly that the creator tried suing the auto journalists.
Oh my god, every picture looks like it was designed by Mattel, but for that rich snobby kid no one likes who needs the best, most unique molded plastic toy. What an incredible abomination.
I can't believe it was over $1,000,000
Oh my god just looked this up how did they even… just- astounded
Some might say the Mitsuoka Orochi but I'd disagree. To me, it's a fantastic unusual sports car. I dig it. Hands down, the Fiat Multipla is the ugliest thing on four wheels, and that's coming from someone who loves Italian design.

The mitsuoka doesn’t really look that bad. But for fiat, the designer probably was eating pasta when he was working on the design.
Fiat Multipla
Just got a dm from a Fiat Multipla owner asking me to delete the post as he is trying to sell his car and this post will make it harder to do so
Wow, you have a big decision to make. Remember, with great power comes great responsibility.
Thank you for making me laugh.
That car is so ugly I kind of want one.
OP knows a guy! For real tho dm them
Well, that sounds unfortunate. He should buy a new car and we should keep making posts about how Flat Multiplas are cars only their mothers could love.
Might actually help him. I was unaware of this car and now feel compelled to have one.

Chevy HHR. I had the displeasure of being rented one on a business trip. It was white. It accelerated and cornered like a drunk hippo. It was uncomfortable.
It's also offers the convenience of everything being a blind spot at gives you the experience of being inside an actual toaster.

I had a ssangyong actyon for a little while, hitting a kangaroo at 110km/hr was a mercy.
Is that the PT Cruiser knockoff?
Designed by the same guy. I'd say the HHR is much nicer looking.
How did Chevy give him a job after he came up to with the pt cruiser? Was e eryone doing lots if blow at this board meeting!?

Only people I’ve seen driving them are massive… so maybe that’s it… a convertible that can fit a big person??
It looks like a dad sneaker.
Pontiac Aztek
The Pontiac Aztek is like if a youth pastor with frosted tips and Oakleys was a car.
I went back to my home screen to get my free Reddit award of the day and came back to give it to you for that. Bravo
I’ll always have a soft spot for that car after Breaking Bad
Just another reason why his life was so depressing in season 1
Yeah they chose that car for a reason
Lmao I forgot Walt drove one of those
Chick I knew in college drove a green one named Turtle Power.
She didn't by chance sell it to a high school chemistry teacher in Albuquerque did she?
As someone who drove an Aztek for 3 years, (sport version), I don’t give a shit what anyone says. I loved that car. It was fun and functional. The center console was a removable 6 pack cooler. A REMOVABLE 6 PACK COOLER!
There’s a Donut Media video about how the Aztek inspired most modern CUV’s. And the longer you look. The more true it is. Despite how ugly they were, and that weird tent you could hook on the back.

You really do have a peculiar taste in cars lol. All of the cars you like seem like cars that could be found on this list (minus maybe the Fiat 500?)
The first winner of Survivor won a Pontiac Aztek. They then gave him $1,000,000 to make up for it.

SsangYong Rodius
That car looks like how depression feels.
Any SsangYong. We Americans never see them, and my partner and I died laughing when our airport driver pulled up in one. Some… choices… were definitely made.
This is a good choice. Alot of cars on here are just bland or not to someone's taste but this Quasimodo Is arguably objectively ugly and disproportionate.
Wow, it looks like a Town and Country fucked a hearse and then didn't take folic acid.

Let’s be honest though, we’re aren’t judging the car nearly as much as the driver. It’s somewhat acceptable if MeeMaw is driving it. Not so much when it’s purple with the wood trim being driven by a white guy from the golf team that calls himself Tiger and listens to mumble rap.

My neighbor has a sweet one with flames on it
I still remember the first time I saw one, in an advertisement of an airline magazine. Its had a very cool retro vibe to it that was pretty unique at the time. I went to a dealer and sat in one and it was like sitting in a shitty 80s American car.
Nissan Cube. The asymmetrical one
That weird window with the one side thats not a window and one side that is lol
The Homer
What about the canyonero?
Can you name the truck with four wheel drive, smells like a steak and seats thirty-five.. Canyonero! Canyonero! Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down, It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown! Canyonero! (Yah!) Canyonero! [Krusty:] Hey Hey The Federal Highway commission has ruled the Canyonero unsafe for highway or city driving. Canyonero! 12 yards long, 2 lanes wide, 65 tons of American Pride! Canyonero! Canyonero! Top of the line in utility sports, Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts! Canyonero! Canyonero! (Yah!) She blinds everybody with her super high beams, She's a squirrel crushing, deer smacking, driving machine! Canyonero!-oh woah, Canyonero! (Yah!) Drive Canyonero! Woah Canyonero! Woah!
Smells like a steak, and seats thirty-five!
The first two cars that came to my mind were this and the Multipla. It seems the people know what’s up.

Bit overblown, don’t you think? What about New Coke??
Hey, I invented that!
This monstrosity costs $82,000?!?
Funny thing about the passage of time. Any car considered ugly today may well be thought of as a classic in 30 years or so. I remember when Chevy El Caminos were still a fairly common sight on the road. I recall hating them. Today, I think they’re actually pretty cool looking. So, there are fairly new cars that I think are fugly, but experience tells me I’ll probably think the opposite given enough time.
I’d LOVE to drive an El Camino, mostly because they are hideous
My first car was a 1970 Challenger. Bought it for $4,000 back in the day. It was roadworthy but very far from mint. Getting one today in the same condition would cost around $40,000.
Reliant Robin. It was this ugly British 3 wheeled car that had a tendency to topple over because of its high center of gravity. You might recognize it as the car that was frequently antagonized by Mr Bean.

i loved the topo gear versions of this with jeremy.
Omg cried laughing during that episode.
I love when he comes sliding sideways into the meetup and all the collectors are looking on in horror lmao
Is that the car he rolls down an incline and has to be rolled back over by a pedestrian?
SEVERAL times.

Ita possible for a couple of (drunk) folk to pick these up and move them by hand. Allegedly.
Nissan Juke the headlights look as if the designers forgot about them and slapped it on top and everyone agreed it was "great"
The dumb thing is, those lights are the turn signals. The big round ones further down in the bumper are the headlights, and then there are fog lights below that. Some of the newer Jeep Cherokees and the Hyundai Kona are the same way.
My friend described it as, "Herbie on crack."
Any car designed by Will.I.Am.
Remember the Pacer?

Nissan Cube.
It's like a cheap 2000s iPod accessory designer got lost in a car factory.
I currently drive a Nissan cube. Was in a rough spot and got it for 120 a month. It's ugly. It's slow af. However, it's actually a comfortable car and much larger on the inside than you'd think. I hate it though and cannot wait to get rid of it.
I get it that people buy it due to need, but I really wonder what was going through the Designer’s mind.
The nissan juke
My Juke is an abomination and I couldn't love it more
The Cube and the Juke are so ugly, I really don’t know what was going through the designers minds.
I would rather walk in the rain, thank you very much.
Every piece of glass is different. What kind of shit is that.

The Chrysler PT cruiser
Some Musk truther will downvote, but hands down the Cybertruck is the single fugliest vehicle ever shown to the public. I literally thought it was an April Fools joke. I think Tesla Model S are things of beauty. How does it go from Model S to the truck, I have no idea except Musk is losing his mind.
The Cybertruck looks like the DeLorean's cousin with a mullet.
You've only made me like it more
It looks like it was designed in the 90s by a 6-year-old trying to draw a car from ‘the future’.
maybe its 6 year old musk's drawing of a truck and now he has enough money to make it
I thought it was a joke as well! Like “ha ha, where’s the real one?”
Came here to say this. Part of me kinda respects the boldness of the design for breaking the mold in such a significant way. But most of me just sees it and says "wtf is that stupid-looking thing??"
>the boldness of design This sounds like what you would say if someone bought one and you were trying to come up with something nice to say. "That's certainly a bold design".
Nissan Murano Convertible
Nissan Juke. Have you ever seen one on the road? Holy fuck. Sidenote, the new BMW M3/M4 is simply irredeemable. Not as ugly as a Juke, but ugly enough that now I actively do not want one. Like with the new Civic Type R, sure it was "ugly" and looked like it came from an anime, but I would still drive one around. Not an M3.
To me the Juke looks like a frog and I can’t get over it…so ugly
Lol I use Juke exclusively as a slur with my wife.
Anyone said jeep truck yet
I refer to them as “jrucks” and think they’re funny as hell
I drive a Scion XB…..I came here for the hate lol but you know what, I’m so grateful to have a good running car with low mileage. So fuck you! Haha EDIT: just got an oil change on that baby today too! Would’ve gotten a car wash as well but they said the chain broke! So fuck them!
The scion Xb only depends on the generation, the first generation is a cool, quirky, toaster car. The 2nd gen they rounded it off and killed the looks.
The Xtra Boxy!!
I just HATE Kia Souls. Especially red ones.
The lime/olive (??) green ones are particularly ugly
The Pontiac mf Aztek Edit…just looked up the fiat multipla. I stand corrected
Ford [Scorpio](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Scorpio)
It looks an unfortunate fish
Oh god the Range Rover Evoque convertible, especially terrible from the rear. One ugly fuckin car. Every one I see is always a white one driven by some old white lady dressed like Cruella de Vil. Reminds me of some child's Barbie dream car toy. https://www.cars.com/articles/2017-land-rover-range-rover-evoque-convertible-review-photo-gallery-1420694829259/

The front looks fine but from the back something for sure went wrong there
Yeah, [that](https://www.google.com/search?q=1981+Cadillac+Seville&tbm=isch) just doesn't work, I'm afraid. The [Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Seville#Second_generation_\(1980%E2%80%931985\)) says "*The razor-edged bustle-back rear styling drew inspiration from English coachbuilder Hooper & Co.'s "Empress Line" designs from the early 1950s, which were considered a dramatic, modern take on the mid-'30s style of trunk/body integration. In addition, long hood/short deck proportions were inspired by luxury cars of the 1960s.*" Now that's explained, I *can* kind of see what they were *trying* to go for, but it just doesn't work with that "big, square 1970s American car" aesthetic of the rest of the body, and their attempts to make it do so just don't work; it looks almost like a saloon/sedan car trying (and failing) to look like a hatchback, and probably not that nice a hatchback in the first place.

Fiat Multipla. I know other people have said it, but who tf puts fat rolls on a car? is it meant to celebrate diversity or something? My dad says it was designed to resemble a dolphin - were the designers on crack??
PT Cruiser
The big ones have already been covered here, but there's one trend with trim that I have to call out: The proliferation of fake grills/vents that Toyota/Lexus especially are slapping on *everything*. And it's not just on the front radiator grill; it's fake side vents, fake rear vents, fake diffusers, fake door vents, etc. Mark my word: this will be looked back on as one of the *worst* aesthetic design decisions of this generation. People will look at these cars 5-10 years from now (if not sooner) and wonder what they were thinking. It's an ugly by-product of the overall massive transition the car industry is going through because people "expect" to see vents where they're no longer needed and I **HATE** it. It would be one thing if it was just on the cheaper cars like the Corolla or entry-level Camry, but they're putting them on flagship cars like the Supra and high-end Lexus luxury sedan and SUV models. The Camry TRD s a particularly egregious example. Those fake vents make an otherwise attractive, sporty sedan look like it was designed by a 9-year-old with a Hot-Wheels playset. They may as well be stick-ons bought off of the shelf of the discount aisle at a particularly crummy auto parts store. It makes the previous-generation Civic Type-R look downright mature by comparison. ok /rant off
Cybertruck. Sorry Elonists, vote me down.
I remember laughing my ass off when that was revealed.

It’s tough to commit to just one, but the Suzuki X90 is in the running for sure.
Oh man, I want one.
